Downgrading from SQL 2008 to 2005

Hello peeps,

  I have a series of Crystal Reports that I can view/edit using Visual Studio 2005 with no issues.  The method I'm using is to simply click on the *.rpt file and it opens in the VS crystal editor with no issues.  The problem I'm having is that we are upgrading to Visual Studio 2008, and when I open the *.rpt file in 2008 it opens as a binary file.  I guess I'm used to everything else in Visual Studio prompting me to convert the older version to the newer version, so I'm not sure what to do in this case.

  Is this normal?  Is there an easy conversion method that I'm simply overlooking?  Am I screwed?  Who invented liquid soap, and why?

Answers to any of these questions would be greatly appreciated...

Hi and thanks.

 

I'm getting an error on serveral reports that I built  in VWD2005 (express) using the reportviewer control.  Trying to edit the rdlc file in VS2010, VS2010 asks if i want to convert the file to RDLC 2008 format and I click ok.  When I build the site, I get this error (and of course also when the report is ran):

 

Error 1 The report definition is not valid.  Details: The report definition has an invalid target namespace 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/reporting/2008/01/reportdefinition' which cannot be upgraded. C:\inetpub\wwwroot\mastercardlcm\Reports\WorkLists\OpenSRStatus.rdlc 1 

 

Here is my web.config concerning the RDLC assemblies, etc.

		<httpHandlers>

Hi folks

Am in the process learning C#, My instructor uses Visual C# 2005 Express and on my side I have Visual Studio 2008 Pro.

Do you think it will affect me in my Coding practice due to the different IDE Versions? Wha do I have to heed when coding?

Thanks

i cant install sql server 2005 nor 2008 on my windows 7 os

i read about somthing like adding new account when installing sql 2008 to provision the server or so, but didnt know how,,,

can you plz help me??

 

I recently built a SQL Server 2005 cluster on the o/s Windows Server 2008 R2.  I have been attempting to connect to the cluster from my Windows 7 dekstop with my SQL Server 2008 Tool set.  I have been unable to attach to this cluster since its creation. The firewall is temp off, remote connections in the surface area configuration is set to pipes and tcp/ip and the Browser surface is up and running. I ran Wireshark against the cluster and I could see that there was UDP conversations for ms-sql-m (SQL Port) but that was as far as it would get.  I am using a named instance so not using 1433, but I do see the cluster offering up high RPC ports but the client never responds after the initial UDP response. When I noticed that there was a two way conversation taking place, I went to a seperate machine and fired up SQL Server 2005 Tools and I was easily able to attach to the cluster.  So my question is - Are there any known incompatibilities between SQL Server 2005 cluster services and SQL Server 2008 Tool set?  I can use my 2008 tools to attach to a non-clustered SQL Server 2005 w/o issue.   Error when attempting to connect: A network-related or instance-specific error occured while establishing a connection to sql server.  The server was not found or was not accessible.  Verify that the instance name is correct and the SQL Server is con

we need to migrate the data from Houston to Seattle. plus, we need to upgrade 2005 server to 2008 at the same time, with the minimal downtime. The plan is to build the brand new 2008 server in Seattle, restore all databases (500 on the same server!) from full backup. when ready, shutdown applications in Houston, run diff backup and restore Seattle from diff. My question is about initial restore of master database in Seattle. is it a problem to restore 2005 master db on 2008 server?JulieShop

Hi all,I backupped a database from SQL Server 2005, edited it locally in my SQL Server 2008 Express (with Tools) and then tried to restore it back to the 2005 server again. This didn't work and gave several errors in the 2005 server, depending on the way I tried to restore it - or re-attach it. The errors are: Database cannot be opened becaus it is version 655. This server supports version 611 and earlier. The media family on device 'C:\Temp\backup2008\backup2008.bak' is incorrectly formed. SQL Server cannot process this media family.RESTORE HEADERONLY is terminating abnormally. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 3241)In other words: the database/backup is just fine, but SQL 2005 just doesn't swallow it. I have already confirmed that the compatability level on SQL 2008 Express (localhost) is set to '90', by using select * from sys.databases, which should mean that it is backwards compatible. I have also tried both restoring through the Management Studio and by script, as well as (re-)attaching the files. I just can't get it to work...Somewhere, it sounds logic. On another level I fail to see the point of the compatability level in the options if this is not possible. Any advice? Or do I just have to forget about SQL 2008 on my working machine and rollback to SQL 2005?

I am trying to create a report in SSRS 2008 R2 using SSAS 2005 as a datasource. My dataset has a date parameter. When I create an embedded dataset in my report everything works fine, but when I create a shared dataset with the exact same mdx query, I get the following error: An error occurred during local report processing. The definition of the report 'xxxx' is invalid. The Value expression for the report parameter 'DateCalendarHierarchy' contains an error: [BC30034] Bracketed identifier is missing closing ']'. Does anybody have any ideas? Is this a bug? Thanks, Louis

Hi,    We were using SQL Server Transactional Replication between two SQL Server 2005 servers. Now we are going to upgrade the Publisher server to SQL Server 2008, Distributor Server remains as SQL Server 2005.     Can anyone let me know what is the challenges we need to face when configuring Replication between SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server 2008. Replication Method - Transactional Replication Distributor/Subscriber - SQL Server 2005 Publisher     -  SQL Server 208 Regards, Fazlu.

Hello guys, I've a simple question where i didn't found an answer yet: The processing time is in Seconds - but CPU Usage seconds or wait time seconds until the caching is finished ? Output of onlinebooks: The %1 processed %2!u! rows in the cache. The processing time was %3 seconds. The cache used %4!I64u! bytes of memory.   hope that anybody has the much sought-after answer...   thanks & greets from Austria | TiROL Alex
